    this game is actually decent, it's worth it, but if you not a sport fan and hate EA then you should prob play other instead, and if u don't like it then just run back to Fifa 22,21,20,19,... and about the P2W, you can just ignore it and train your skill

    The last game before FIFA finds a new developer is very solid. FIFA 23 is a very good game and a nice setup for the next beginning in which FIFA must choose the right developer for a good start. Collapse

    I fell off from FIFA after the major physics update around FIFA 17. The updates were necessary, but I did not have time to invest in relearning the physics to play at a competitive level that I was at previously. I played around with FIFA 22 for several hours but the goalie AI became frustrating. So here we are.

    FIFA 23 is truly one of the best entries I can recall for a very long time.

    FIFA 23 is truly one of the best entries I can recall for a very long time. The gameplay feels extremely tight, especially compared to last year. The physics are realistic and pretty fair for the most part. I used to get frustrated during the physics revamp because it was so easy to exploit random touches. Everything feels highly refined in this game. They also did a fantastic job improving the presentation and the career mode. I don’t play FUT so I can’t comment on that mode, which apparently has been causing a lot of issues. Every other mode is actually really well fleshed out. The World Cup mode is also an awesome addition to this year’s game. There are a handful of commonly reoccurring glitches and poor design choices. For example the advertising panels behind the goal are literally painted on the floor to give the appearance that it is 3D. That is just lazy. The default colors are awful, not sure how that passed clearance because they look terrible without adjusting your monitor for quite some time. Small nitpicks, but they are definitely a result of lazy design. Despite minor complaints, this is easily the most fun I’ve had with FIFA in a very long time. The only major complaint I have is somethings the poor defensive line AI.

To anyone who plays FIFA for years this might not feel new, but is has enough small changes in the gameplay that together they create a more true to life football experience that may not be easy to enjoy at first, if you are the "skill moves guy", but it's more rewarding and realistic than previous iterations Expand

    Bence son yılların en dengeli Fifa'sı. Sadece hızlı oyuncuların iş yapmadığı, oyun hızının, defansların ve hücumların dengeli olduğu bir oyun. Tabii 2000'lerdeki o zor fifa'lar gibi değil. Biraz show işi ama bu kabullenmek lazım artık.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's the same as FIFA 21, no major improvements, really underwhelming. The only good thing is the career mode mods, but they're banned, so that's disappointing. There are many significant bugs, and it's not realistic, which ruins the game. I couldn't even play it properly when I bought it, it took two days to get it working, and even then, it was still buggy. If we compare it to games like Cyberpunk, which had initial bugs but improved significantly, FIFA has been out for over a year, so it's disappointing. Hopefully, EA Sports FC will be much better.

    when you do anything besides the match itself - game is close to great but when match is started - even if you like it at first, gameplay will rise its ugly head later on. You'll see the same ping-pong, defensively helpless, mind-boggling decision making by the players, itchy animations, arcade-feeling speed (lol'd at those claiming FIFA is so slower and close to realistic this year)... It leaves you with the same filthy feeling of being robbed for 60 bucks.
    Yep, there are no good football alternatives this year but there are many great games around, direct your money there.

Graphics are ok. Nothing next gen in it. Except for the sh.t marks that players leave on the pitch. Gamplay is a step up from last year but it has one major issue with me. Number of goals you can score in a match is just unrealistic. Played a carrer mode on 4 min half lenght and legendary difficulty with Sampdoria and had 54 goals scored in 13 matches. Everything goes in... maybe it will work in online matches but carrer mode feels arcade and boring because of this.

    - Political pandering in a gambling simulator... ironic

    FIFA is the definition of insanity...

    My one point is for activating the retro soundtrack songs from previous titles during the World Cup update. That is my only positive. I would have said the initial gameplay version with specific acceleration types that made "big men" usable was a definite W, but they went ahead and patched this game into a gameplay style you have seen since FIFA 17... pace, agility, DDA (dynamic difficulty adjustment), meta (most effective tactic available) tactics, and cheap undeserved goals that provide zero satisfaction.

    I'll briefly mention that Career Mode got some attention that amounts to useless cutscenes and decisions that ultimately change nothing in the gameplay, and Pro Clubs is the same old 10 division, weekend cup, build your pro and hope your AI teammates don't throw the entire game for you.

    I know a lot of people hate it, but it is the main mode on FIFA, and the reason 90% of people buy the game, Ultimate Team. FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), which was once, an exciting "journey to your favourite XI" is just becoming a menial task that some people might even consider a job, there's a promo every week, the meta shifts every week, and timed objectives and sbcs are released (almost) daily to help people to succumb to the fear of missing out and drive them to the microtransaction laden pack store.

    FUT has become an unsatisfying grind that leaves most players feeling empty because the pack weight (ability to collect better cards to upgrade your team) has been absolutely abysmal this year. Now, this point is subjective due to the randomness of odds (sound like gambling?), but due to the discrepancy of market value in promo cards, I am almost confident in saying that as a blanket statement. Also, pack odds are tied to "coin market value" not overalls, another sneaky trick by these predators.

    Now, if you combine terrible pack weight, unpredictable gameplay, time consuming grinding, DDA, coming up against the same XI players throughout your journey, and being rewarded with nothing, where would that leave you? Unfulfilled? That is the life for every current FUT player. Frustration and dissatisfaction in hopes that they succumb to the pressure of visiting the pack store to spend real money to upgrade their teams. It is more predatory than ever in this iteration of the football sim, and is the reason why Belgium has banned the game's microtransactions for violating its gambling laws, with the Netherlands & Austria currently investigating similar claims due to lawsuits.

    Jumping off FUT, for my brothers and sisters on PC, this game runs decently enough, for the most part, 60-80 FPS in 4K with an RTX 3080 / 9900K, ultra settings, hair strands off, FPS limit uncapped... but it should be way higher. FIFA 22 ran at 120-144 FPS for me just last year in the same configuration... the difference? From what I can tell, this version of the game is certainly a graphical leap forward so a performance hit is not "off the cards", but a ~50% reduction tells me there is another culprit and PC gamers... go ahead and say it with me: Stop putting anti-drm, kernel-level access, anti-cheat garbage in your games, it bloats the CPU and hampers its ability to send frames to the GPU. Unfortunately, that is not the worst part, and this is rather funny to me, but your "anti-cheat", DOES NOT EVEN WORK. I have never experienced cheating on my FIFA PC gaming experience outside of a common "no loss glitch" in draft mode in previous years. In FIFA 23, I have played invisible players, green time shot exploits, ultimate squad battles AI, and 99 rated silver players, across all of the game modes... This, all from a company that rakes in billions of dollars ($3.91B USD in 2022) in microtransaction revenue? And we're supposed to be okay with this?

    Also, I do not care how many proggies are offended by this, but again, EA, I am not interested in being lectured on politics from a company that promotes gambling to minors. It's a rich take, but keep your racist, divisive, manipulative, and factually incorrect political takes out of sports games. Use that ESG money to fix your servers you frauds.

    Overall, same game, different year, more predatory.

The "assist" features often produce passes that go in the wrong direction. Player pedigree means nothing, as often the game will randomly put weights in their boots and your entire starting 11 is running through mud.

    Regardless of whether or not the legendary "scripting" is being done on purpose, FIFA 23 unfailingly manages to create situations where the player does not feel in control, where it feels like the engine has arbitrarily decided that it's time for the opponent to score. At this point it is either a deliberate choice made to funnel as many people into the cash cow mode of Ultimate Team (the only mode that gets a semblance of maintenance), the code base has become an untenable mess, or the game does not get playtested whatsoever.

    Once again, FIFA appears to be a game with the primary intent of getting teenagers and young adults addicted to gambling via Ultimate Team.

    FIFA is easily one of my all time favorite franchise, not only as a gamer but also as a football fan myself. Careless to say that this game is an insult to both football fans and PC Gamers out there. Here's why:

    Performance: The game runs like absolute cr@p, on PC. I've got an RTX 3070, 16gb DDR4 3600 RAM and a Ryzen 7 5800x3D and sometimes it looks like I've got something like an entry level pascal card with a 4th gen i5. It's one of the worst ports I've ever seen, on PC, by far. Problem is that the game is now running worse than before after the latest update. The frame drops arw not alone anymore. We now have random stuttering, sound crackling and, in my case, my game even goes completely silent while using my Creative soundcard. Terrible.

    Gameplay: Well, altough I understand they've tried a more realistic approach with this latest release, it's a poor attempt, mostly when it comes to the AI. And it's not a skill issue. I'm literally demolishing the AI on legendary on most games. And that's precisely the problem. The AI is stupid. Not only they play always the exact same way no matter the teams and tactics being used as they're extremely annoying. Although I win 99% of the games it doesn't feel rewarding as I see myself having to make the same plays over and over again, otherwise they intersect and predict my every move. Skill moves are mostly useless against them as well. Like, wtf? 26 editions later and the AI keeps getting worse with no hope for improvements. It's like the game is solely made with multiplayer in mind. But if so why implementing an offline career mode, that for the record is even more broken than last year's, if it's not realistic in any regard?

    The game is also infested with bugs, regarding animations and cutscenes. It's terrible. I can't remember the last time I've played such a buggy game. This is Cyberpunk level of buggy. That being said, I don't recommend this game on PC. I can live with the AI being atrocious but the massive ammount of bugs and poor performance all around are unacceptable.

    If we had to rate FIFA 23 as a single release, it would definitely score high for all that it has accomplished and offered this year. But on the other hand, if one also owns last year's version and one's involvement with the series is casual and purely for light entertainment, there is no reason to invest in this year's version.

    I can safely say that ground is suitable for playing football in FIFA 23's current state. However if we know EA they'll definitely change the game drastically to reshape FUT and I'm not sure if we'll like all those changes. That being said, FIFA 23 is your best option to satiate your hunger while the World Cup is approaching.

    It’s still the leading football game in town, but EA has made only minor changes in FIFA 23, such as set piece tweaks and a new way of shooting. If you didn’t enjoy 22, chances are you won’t be too impressed with this one either.
